    G'day Tass.

    Call Mark Heath at The Moisture Meter Company.
    He is located in Coff Harbour, N.S.W.

    He is in the book.

    Mark sells all the different brands and types of Moisture Meters.
    As for pinless meters, You can't go past a Wagner.
    They are made in the U.S.

    For a Pin meter, go for a Delmhurst J2000 with slide hammer.
    It comes with species correction for most Australian hardwood as well as some softwoods. It also allows for temperature correction.
    It stores all readings taken and can be reviewed and the High, Low & average displayed.

    Moisture Meters....I have 6 pin & pinless hand held meters and one fixed inline meter.

    They all have been supplied by Mark Heath.
    Hooroo.
    Regards, Trevor
